Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognize the importance of prioritizing mental health as a key component to everyone's overall happiness. The process of establishing a supportive environment and fostering meaningful relationships can be challenging. With five years of experience in the clinical field, I have developed a focus on working with individuals and families who live with someone or who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, gender identity, and complex PTSD.

My approach to therapy

In my perspective, the most important aspects of therapy are establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding your individual needs. I believe that open and honest communication are essential for building trust and facilitating positive progress.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be dedicated entirely to understanding your unique needs and developing a personalized approach tailored to you. Once the decision to work together has been made, our goal moving forward will be the facilitation of mutual respect and establishing a genuine connection. As your partner in this process, I will be attentive to your concerns, offer support, and provide challenges when appropriate.
